Dear All,
What a fantastic start to the term!
We’ve had a number of new students join us this term and
there’s a real feeling that Windmill Young Actors is flourishing and moving forward.
Saturday 1st
December
This has now been confirmed as our first showcase of the
year. It will be in the Windmill Theatre. Rehearsals will be in the theatre all
day from 09.30 and we will look to open doors to audience around 18.15. More
details to follow nearer the time.
Tanushka
Earlier this year, Tanushka directed a fantastic play
about the life of Khalil Gibran who wrote ‘The Prophet’. The play is called
‘Rest Upon the Wind’ and from Sunday she will be taking it on tour to the
Middle East. Therefore, please contact Ben with any queries on the usual email
and phone number.
Thursdays
The advanced class on a Thursdays for 13 – 16 year olds
has started excellently and we are lucky to have an extremely focused and
committed group. We hope that it will become the natural ‘next step’ for the
young actors from Saturday. Tanushka will be leading this Thursday (4th)
before heading off and Ben will be leading the remaining three before half
term.
Headshots and
Professional Work
We’ve had a number of queries about professional work for
the students and it has always been something that we look to support wherever
possible. The route for young actors is to get one or two fantastic headshots
and then approach child agencies with a CV and portfolio. Ben is in the process
of building a relationship with Michelle at Daisy and Dukes (a London agency).
D&D are auditioning in November and we will pass on the information to any
interested students and parents when we have it.
Next term, we are hoping to organise a Saturday afternoon
for all students who wish to get some professional headshots done. Please let
us know if your child would like to get them done so that we have an idea of
numbers. We will try and do as many as possible in one afternoon to save on costs.
That’s it for now folks. Thanks again for all of your
continued support of Windmill Young Actors. As always, do feel very welcome to
pass on any thoughts or feedback on the club.
Best Wishes,
Tanushka and Ben
